Pretty weird happening. I had some engine strangeness and then had coolant blowing through the lower blower/heater duct. Never had that happen before lol.

So I looked for another daily. I spent lots of time looking at stuff, and almost bought a new car. I have the money for pretty much anything but I decided to get the Corolla another shot

It was very hard to find an AE101 with both power windows/locks AND a sunroof. But man, was a glad to buy it. I love the sunroof .

She was taken care of well for a young couple espsecially in Florida. But I always do lots of maintenance

I have been going to the junkyard everyday looking at possible upgrades and swaps.

I have found a couple of donor cars and slowly pulling interior bits.

Some questions I have for the masters...

1.) What are the rear disk caliper options? When I search, it is a mess. People say this works, that works, AE101 calipers are on Rockauto, Celica calipers work, Camry calipers work, but there is really no clear answer..

2.) What is the possibility of swapping the sunroof metal panel for a glass one off a similar chassis? Camry? Avalon is too big, I checked . I'll be taking measurements but wanted to know if anyone has done this. I love glass sun roofs.

3.) What are the best suspension options? I like BC or Tein (above street/basis) coils, but I'm not sure if I want coilovers again. I might just rebuild mine but I'm not clear on spring and rate options..

4.) Any good 4 lug 15" OEM options? I'm having a hell of a time sourcing 15" 4 lug Toyota rims. Mazda, Honda, all that is cake but not in the Field of Dreams.. So far I have only found the Yaris and I believe a Scion set.

5.) Seat options? I believe Paseo seats will work. I was at the J/Y and saw them and sat, but they didn't really scream side bolstering. I know there are LE model seats which look sportier, but are pretty hard to find. MR2? Celica? Specifically I LOVE early 90's celicas (All-trac Castrol ones), but not sure if those seat rails are similar. If they all require fabbing I guess it doesn't matter..

6.) Was there ever cruise control on these models? I find it hard to believe a 93-97 Japanese saloon did not have a Cruise option..

Nice find, those are some reliable cars right there. For the disk brakes you may need to find a AE92 1988-1991 GTS. I know people in the past use to swap those over with some welding involved. Here is a link from Corolla Car Club, the club is pretty much based out of Florida but the forum doesn't see as much activity as it use to. The main guy is out of Lakeland. Hope this helps.
